Asst. Professor Phoebe Crisman Receives VEE Grant to Support Design Work for “site out of mind” in Norfolk

Assistant Professor of Architecture Phoebe Crisman has received a $15,000 grant from the Virginia Environmental Endowment (VEE) to support design work for a 330-acre neglected site along the Elizabeth River in Norfolk.

Crisman will explore strategies for environmentally sustaining architecture and urbanism on the Money Point site, and intends that the public design process, specific design proposal and supporting principles will be a model for development along the River and beyond.

Her work will provide the design component for a community process facilitated by Frank Dukes, Director of the Institute of Environmental Negotiation (who has a separate Andrus mediation grant) in association with the non-profit Elizabeth River Project. The process will begin in January and will complement Crisman?s theoretical work to be developed in a forthcoming book,?site out of mind.?
